• OBITUARY

  Alvin Minsk was born July 12, 1930, at Georgia Baptist Hospital in Atlanta Georgia. As a teenager he
  worked in his parents' corner grocery store in the afternoons with his older brother Malcolm, after he
  completed his schooling at Commercial High. Upon graduation, he attended Emory University where he
  received a BS in Accounting and became a CPA in the public sector. He then went into the Army for two
  years and was stationed in Paris. Falling in love with the city, his affinity for all things French never
  dissipated. This is where he bought his favorite car, a shiny red VW Carmen Ghia, which he brought
  home to Atlanta, and adored and referred to throughout his life.

  Upon returning to Atlanta, Alvin was introduced to Shirley Kaplan on a blind date in August 1957, got
  engaged in April 1958, and married on June 29, 1958. Together they raised three sons, and recently
  celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary.

  He had three distinct segments to his career: First spending over 15 years as a CPA at Harris Kerr
  Forster, then working as the Comptroller at The Atlanta American Hotel for over 30 years, before ending
  his career at 89 years old working as a hotel analyst at CBRE.
  His love of travel carried him and his family to all parts of the world, and only ended when his health
  made it impractical for him to do so.

  He is survived by his wife Shirley Kaplan Minsk, sons Harry (Susan), Eric and Jonathan, along with
  granddaughter Sophie, grandson Eli, brother Donald (Sheila), many nieces, nephews, grand-nieces,
  grand nephews, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his father Harry, mother Ida, and brother
  Malcolm (Betty).

  Graveside services will be held on Tuesday, August 29 at 9:30 AM at Arlington Memorial Park, 201
  Mount Vernon Highway, Sandy Springs, GA 30328.

  Shiva will be held at the home of Harry and Susan
  Minsk, 7745 Dunvegan Close, Sandy Springs GA 30350 from 6-8 PM Tuesday August 29th, Wednesday,
